Upgrading Robotics and RoboticsIn today's industrial manufacturing field, robotic and automated technology was in the process of upgrading.
In terms of robot end-point execution, the servo-electric claw became the key force for the robot's automatic end-point execution. For example, the WOMMER servo-electric claw performed well in the core processes of loading and unloading, handling, and assembly in the field of mechanical processing. In the loading and unloading process, it can stably transport different sized parts with millimeter precision or even higher precision by virtue of high-precision position control and powerful gripping force. During transportation, the advanced servo-drive system can automatically adjust the gripping force and angle according to the transportation path and the characteristics of the parts. The integrated sensor system can monitor the state of the parts in real time and adjust the transportation strategy to avoid damage to the parts. In the assembly process, through the integration of high-precision sensors and advanced control algorithms, the assembly position can be accurately identified and located, improving product quality and compatibility, and reducing the cost and risk of manual intervention.
The application of robotic quick-change devices and quick-change jigs was also an important embodiment of the automatic upgrade. The robot quick-change device could quickly change the tools at the end of the robot. It had high-precision positioning, fast locking and unlocking functions, and no manual intervention was needed to shorten the production preparation time and improve the overall efficiency of the production line. Quick-change jigs could quickly adapt to different shapes, size, and materials of the work pieces. Whether it was the assembly of precision electronic components or the handling of heavy machinery parts, it could provide efficient and reliable solutions. The combination of the two greatly enhanced the flexibility and adaptability of the production line, bringing economic benefits.
Robots represented by the KUKa robot had improved greatly in terms of interruption and vision technology. The interrupt program was powerful and could respond to external events quickly without interrupting the main program. For example, the interrupt program could be activated by a button signal to pause the robot or adjust the movement speed. The definition file was structured to facilitate expansion and modification. Before use, interrupt initializations involving various settings were required. The interrupt number allocation adopted a detailed classification system to manage and call different types of interrupt. When the vision was used to move the work piece, the robot would use the vision to capture the state of the work piece and compare it with the preset standard work piece to obtain the offset value. Then, it would calculate the new placement point to achieve accurate grasping, reduce human operation error, and improve efficiency.
There were also new developments in humanoid robots. The humanoid robot " Assembler " made in Sichuan, China, could work 24 hours a day, and its efficiency was twice that of manual labor. It could complete the scanning and tagging operation through the human-like 7 automatic arms, 6 automatic hands, and full-body coordination force control technology. It could also adapt to the flexible production needs of TV sets of different specifications and size through training and learning.
Robot loading and unloading integration was a key step in the enterprise's automatic upgrade. It could replace manual operations and greatly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, avoid fatigue, errors, and incohesiveness of manual operations, and improve production stability, reliability, flexibility, and expansibility. It could also improve the working environment. With technological advancement and cost reduction, the application prospects would be broader.

Dongguan Industrial RoboticsThe following are some of the situations regarding the industrial automaton lens in Dongguan:
** 1. Common parameters of industrial lenses **
1. ** Field of View (Field of View)**
- This was the range that the image acquisition device could cover, which was the size of the object plane corresponding to the image on the target surface.
2. ** Working Distance **
- Generally, it refers to the distance from the front of the lens to the object being tested. The system generally cannot produce a clear image if it is less than the minimum working distance.
3. ** Aperture **
- It was expressed as F, measured by the ratio of the focal length of the lens f to the aperture D. Each lens was marked with a maximum F value. For example, 8mm/F1.4 represented a maximum aperture of 5.7mm. The lower the F value, the larger the aperture. The higher the F value, the smaller the aperture.
4. ** relative aperture **
- It refers to the ratio of the diameter of the entrance hole of the lens (expressed by D) to the focal length (expressed by f), namely D/f.
5. ** Maximum relative aperture **
- It was usually marked on the lens, such as 1:1.2 or f/1.2.
6. ** resolution **
- It was an important factor to evaluate the quality of the lens. It referred to the number of pairs of black and white stripes that the lens could distinguish in millimeters.
7. ** Focus **
- It refers to the distance from the principal point to the focal point, called the focal length of the optical system. It determines the ratio between the image and the actual object. In the case of a fixed object distance, to get a large proportion of the image, it was necessary to choose a long focal length lens.
8. ** Depth of Field **
- It refers to the range where the image is still clear within a certain distance before and after the object is focused. The depth of field varied with the aperture, focal length, and shooting distance of the lens. The larger the aperture, the smaller the depth of field, and the smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. The longer the focal length, the smaller the depth of field, and the shorter the focal length, the greater the depth of field. The closer he was to the subject, the smaller the depth of field, and the further away he was from the subject, the greater the depth of field.
9. ** Aperture **
- The numerical aperture is equal to the product of the index of refraction n of the medium between the object and the objective lens and the sin of half the aperture angle of the objective lens (a/2). The calculation formula is N.A = n*sin a/2. The numerical aperture was closely related to other optical parameters. It was directly proportional to the resolution and the amplification rate. In other words, the numerical aperture directly determined the resolution of the lens. The larger the numerical aperture, the higher the resolution.
10. ** Physical Interface **
- The physical interface of the lens referred to the physical interface between the lens and the camera. The common interface forms of industrial lenses were C port, CS port, F port, etc. Among them, C/CS was an international standard interface specifically used in the industrial field.
** 2. Usage of industrial lenses **
1. ** Quality Inspection **
- On a high-speed assembly line, it could be used to check whether the screw holes were aligned, whether the bottle cap was closed properly, and whether there were any missing parts. It could instantly inspect a large number of products and efficiently identify defective products. This required the industrial lens to maintain high resolution at all corners, and the images taken at any shooting distance and field of view must be clear.
2. ** As the "eyes" of robots and AI **
- The industrial camera was not only a good helper for the quality control of the factory production line, but it could also be used as the eyes of robots and AI to understand the world.
** 3. Liquid lens technology application in industrial lenses (possible technological developments related to Dongguan)**
1. ** Liquid lens technology principle **
- A liquid lens was an optical component made of one or more liquids without mechanical connections. The optical parameters (focal length, radius of curvature, etc.) of the optical component could be changed by external control. Currently, there were two main technical routes for the commercial mass production of liquid lenses: dual-liquid electrowetting lenses and liquid-filled lenses.
2. ** The application advantage in machine vision **
- In machine vision applications, the use of traditional high f/#lenses would cause problems such as reduced aperture, reduced resolution, and extended exposure time due to increased depth of field. The use of the liquid lens allowed the lens to be focused with a more compact optical structure, and it had a millisecond-level adjustment speed. It was faster and more durable than the traditional lens with a purely mechanical translation lens structure, and there was no need to consider the problem of depth of field. For example, in a fast-moving assembly line and a bar code detection scene with multiple prospects and backgrounds, traditional mechanical lenses would have many inconveniences. However, the liquid lens could be used to adjust the radius of curvature of the liquid lens when the object distance changed. Similarly, when the telekinetic lens was used to fix the object distance to detect the size, if the object distance changed beyond the depth of field, the traditional lens needed to adjust the working distance, while the telekinetic lens equipped with a liquid lens could achieve a single lens multi-object distance size detection without adjusting the lens position.
** IV. Status of relevant enterprises in Dongguan **
1. ** Primes **
- Primus was a core product supplier of machine vision and industrial automaton in Dongguan. Its main products included industrial lenses, industrial cameras, visual light sources, image measuring instruments, machine vision inspection systems, etc. For example, there was a 5-million-pel industrial lens with a resolution of 5 million: 160lq/mm(center) 100lq/mm(periphery), focal length 12mm, aperture range F1.6 - F22, interface C, filter size M52.0x0.72mm, and other parameters.
2. ** DongGuan Le Shi Automatic Technology Co., Ltd. **
- The company was founded in 2011, focusing on machine vision light sources, such as linear light sources, line scan light sources, and many other types of machine vision LED light sources. Although it is not directly producing industrial automatic lenses, it can provide matching light source products for the application of industrial lenses in machine vision inspection systems.
